Ceremony: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1341341/

Score: 6/10

It's a movie about a guy who was "twenty-three and a half" years old who crashed a wedding with his friend to try to win back the older bride who was only interested in him as a fling. I thought it would be a nice chick flick for my wife and I to vegetatively enjoy together, but it was a bit wierder than that. My wife ultimately didn't watch it. At first I wondered why I was even watching it, but I had nothing better that I could motivate myself to do.

When it was over, I kind of enjoyed it.

Tale of Two Sisters: Korean film about two sisters coming home from a mental hospital to their father and stepmother, and the strange things that start happening in the house. 8.5/10, subject to change on rewatching depending on how clean the mindscrews end up being.

Reincarnation (Rinne): A film is being made about a "real-life" (in the movie) murder case. The lead actress starts seeing things, but she's not the only one. Excellent time-bendy ghost movie by the writer/director of the original Ju-on/Grudge films, which I also loved. 9.5/10

Drag Me to Hell: Gypsy-curse movie by Sam Raimi; very disappointing considering. Had nice bits, but that's about it. Needed more gung-ho energy from everyone, and more organic wackiness rather than just hitting a few Requisite Raimi Beats. 6/10

Unknown: Liam Neeson wakes up from a four-day coma to discover that someone else is now him. Some logical holes ignored (and introduced to sell the situation), but a decent Hollywood thriller overall. 7.5/10

Middle Men: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1251757/

Nice story. It kept me interested throughout. The two genius-idiots who kept getting into trouble were well portrayed.

Score: 9/10

Up in the Air: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1193138/

Although it is not the main plot of the movie, Anna Kendrick plays the role of a 23 year old female relating to people over 25 with her youth being the contrast to their relative age. The other movie was 50/50. It makes me think that maturity doesn't happen until 25 or so.

Another good story well portrayed.

Score: 9/10

I saw the tv movie 'Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D'

Oh it was so much fun and so bad in a very great way. One of the best bad movies. Hasselhoff, I don't really know what to say about him, just that he was not the worst actor in it!

The Lady From Shanghai (1948)

Directed and scripted by Orson Welles, this film has been much talked about over the years but it didn't live up to expectation. Starring Welles and Rita Hayworth, it was one of those stories involving murder without actually pinpointing who was supposed to be murdering who or why. The whole film had a surrealistic atmosphere and was totally unbelievable. I got the impression that nobody knew what they were supposed to be doing even though the production values were above par for a crime thriller. The ending in a fairground hall of mirrors was simply ridiculous.

5/10

Night of the Eagle (1961)

British horror story with Peter Wyngarde as a college professor of psychology who discovers that his wife is a witch involved in voodoo practices.
Infantile rubbish made for the younger (very younger ) segment of cinema goers. I must have had a brainstorm watching it in the first place.

I have just watched Thérèse Desqueyroux, a French film version of François Mauriac's great novel of the same name. Made in 1962, this acclaimed film stars Emmanuelle Riva as the eponymous heroine and Philippe Noiret as her overbearingly complacent husband in performances that are the essence of great acting. Riva IS Thérèse and Noiret IS Bernard. There was an extraordinary sense of déjà vu in watching this film as I hadn't read the novel for some years but it all came flooding back exactly as I had imagined it. When I read that it had been filmed on Mauriac's own estate near Bordeaux and that he had collaborated on the script I understood why this is the definitive film version of the book.
It has just been remade with Audrey Tautou in the title role and has been received with mixed reviews. Not surprising really, why bother trying to improve on the perfect?

To Rome With Love: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1859650/

There were 4 stories situated in Rome in this movie. Outside of location, there didn't seem to be any other connection between them. Two of the stories seemed too absurd to take seriously.

Score: 5/10

The Killer is Loose (1956), with Joseph Cotten and Rhonda Flemyng.
This is an obvious precursor to Cape Fear in which a convicted criminal, whose wife was accidentally shot by a police officer, escapes from prison and goes in search of the wife of the policeman who was responsible for his own wife's death. It wasn't bad even though slightly implausible and Joseph Cotten, who was usually given meatier roles to play, looked a bit lost in his part as the policeman desperately trying to protect his wife. Directed by Budd Boetticher, known for his B pictures, it showed a similar lack of directorial control but was still watchable. 5/10

My daughter told me that we have all the Harry Potter movies and so I spent the past 8 days watching them in order, one each evening. Once I got to the 4th one she started watching them with me.

She said they get "darker" and more interesting and she's right. The last two are the best in my opinion. The first two are entertaining, but I get a little annoyed with Harry winning everything and the good guys and the bad guys are too clearly divided. In the last few movies, as Voldemort leaves everything in a mess, the good and bad get complicated, Harry isn't the only one saving the day and the final ending is perfect.

Overall score: 10/10

This evening I watched Twisted Nerve a nineteen sixties film staring Hayley Mills and Hywel Bennett in the lead roles. With all those mini-skirts the film looks peculiarly dated and while well-made it doesn't come off as the pseudo medico/horror it was intended to be. There is a notable cast of supporting actors including the ubiquitous Timothy West who usually overacts but gives a very convincing performance as a police inspector. One of a number of British shockers along similar lines to Peeping Tom, Blowup and The Collector, it comes across as a typical piece of 1960s excess.

I used to love Haley Mills when I was a child.

I saw The Phantom of the Opera recently, a home viewing in someone's personal screening room. It was actually the 25th anniversary production of the play that was filmed. At the time it was streamed around the world.

Anyway, while I've enjoyed the music for years, I'd never seen the play for some reason. It was wonderful. I loved it. So over the top romantic. It's kind of nice to indulge in that sort of thing occasionally. The three young actors in the lead roles did a marvelous job of sing, acting, and emoting in general. 10/10
